NEW THIS YEAR
=============

• The Seminar happens in Libramont. This is a place for jazz and new music improvisation. And so a new environment for our Seminar.
• It will offer more possibilities for studying, working with ensembles and drums, doing small concerts and jams in the evening.
• Plus: it will be cheaper than previous years.

Now on YouTube: “Easy Touch-Style Guitar” with the first “Guitar Prep” video, from Mobius Megatar.

“Easy Touch-Style Guitar” is a method book showing how to play beginning two-handed touchstyle on a normal 6-string guitar. This book has been written, but has not yet been published. This video is based upon an early chapter in the book, where we discuss how to set up your guitar to work well for two-handed touchstyle.

This video describes how to make “Traktor’s SusPenders” to hold a strat or similar guitar in an upright playing position which will allow the fingers of both hands to access the strings as if it were a specialty touch-style instrument.

Want to see the video? Sure you do!

And, if YouTube is online right now, then here it is:

Yow! That was fun!

The online store is now operational, meaning that a world thirsty for a cool draft of Megatar music, can now obtain instruments direct from the website, along with accessories, and books, and all common factory modifications.

Now you can build your own custom instrument, just the way you like it. Choose a model, and if you wish add piezos or midi, change the saddles, change the trim from chrome to black or gold. There are well over 2000 possible combinations.

Also be sure to check out our new PiezoTapper “SongBird” model.

And if you’re looking for the popular TrueTapper, MaxTapper, or ToneWeaver just the way we’ve always offered them, then that works, too.
